Status Bar Not Visible

[Keith]

I am using Access 2010. I Have the 'Display Status Bar' box ticked in Application Options but the Status Bar is not being displayed. Any suggestions please?

Not sure about this one. Did you try UnChecking it compiling and then ReChecking it?

Otherwise you can set it via code:

Sub ShowHideStatusBar()

If CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = False Then
CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = True
ElseIf CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = True Then
CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = False
End If

End Sub

HTH

Not unless you're doing some fancy hiding the application window or the form is a maximised pop up form.

So does the Status Bar show up in Design View?

The status bar does not show in design view

Have you used the code burrina gave you?

Have you used the code burrina gave you?

I did and it made no difference

To be sure, run exactly this again in the Immediate Window:

Application.CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = True

Then, Restore and Maximize Access.

That worked Thanks vbaInet.
